More Interesting facts about This Hellish Crater Has Been on Fire for Almost 50 Years:
For nearly 50 years, Turkmenistan has had a fiery reminder of an idea that looks good on paper doesn't always pan out the way you'd like it to when it comes to the real world application of said idea. Look no further than the outskirts of a Derweze, a small village of 350 people in the middle of the Karakum desert. It is there a 230-foot-wide crater has been burning off methane gas since 1971.

So mankind found a seemingly endless energy source and we just lit it on fire?
@Hammerschlägen M haha exactly
Why the heck are they not like using the energy from the freaking hole?
@@imperialstarbucks857 cus the scientist were dumb and threw a grenade in it to try and blow a bigger hole
@@theaegislash8249 did u not read?it was releasing dangerous gasses in the air so they wanted to burn it all out but it will mangedtta for fifty years, if theydidnt burn it thered be 50 years worth of dangerous gasses killing people
@@BobMarley-cy2fe think about it,the hole is 90 feet deep and dangerous gas is being carried by air at unknown speeds, do u 1. Waste your time getting a crane and slowly cover it as the seemingly infinite gas spreads,or quickly set it on fire to avoid casualties
Just put a huge boiler over it and make a power station, 50 years of wasted energy and everyone is shouting about global warming,
That'd be a modern marvel, for sure
Put some steam engine on that and convert that energy into electric. But I think getting the water there would cost more money than the energy it would produce.
Fully agree route the gas to a power station built near by
Dont you guys understand? It's in the middle of the damn desert, too expensive to create energy from.
Look up thorium reactors, they're basically the closest thing to perpetual motion machines in the sense that they produce a ridiculous amount of energy with a tiny bit of thorium which is as common as lead. With the only emission being water vapor.
fire...in the hole?
how to make this place stop burning:
step one: craft a pickaxe
step two: mine the netherrack
step three: profit
Mad funny
Well you are definitely Not wrong !!! 😂 Mu-ritards!!
Youre gonna need a fire resistance potion tho
Jon Hilger lol ya
@@JohnnyR1M ikr
F I R E I N T H E H O L E
Now just imagine if we didn’t lit that fire
If someone just stumbles across it-
We would be dead the gases coming out of it are very toxic when in contact with air
I remember the full story of this, the gasses were affecting a nearby town, so in order to protect the town they lit up, it could be a different firey crater tho I'm not 100% certain
Build 100 mining tunnels under it and then 50 years later when we're all dead robots should build 100 more and send animals into it
@@magnusthered4973 so it was actually a good idea do light it on fire
1:17 That's how Soviet geologists put the crater on fire 😂💀
Once I found the mute button, this video was tolerable, just long enough to figure out the search terms to find better videos on the subject. 18 seconds and abandoned.
Setting this on fire was a big brain play.
It’s all fun and games until your marshmallow starts to catch flames.
Wooow!!! That is an excellent place to drop all the politicians and greedy businesmen.
And stupid jealous people as well)
Oh look, a liberal! Let’s throw him in instead! Let’s see if his BLM, Antifa, and LGBT crew come into save him!
Wow hahhaahah
i agree

Alright who's bringing the marshmallows!!??😂😂
Me!
Meeee
Well I think the soviets should.
No alcohol though, get drunk and think you're Satan 🔥💀🙄😔
Should i get some
Engineer 1: we hit a bit of roadblock, there are unknown amount of natural gas
Engineer 2: why don’t we lit it on fire?
Engineer 1: great f*cking idea!
Tourist be like: Dammit, I forgot my lighter!
Fire be like: I got chu.

Copernicus:
The amount of gases that could have been used for industry lmao
Don’t let King Gwyn near this thing.
Why not find a way to harness it? Build a power plant on top of it, use the gas to heat water and turn turbines = profit.
If you have a water source near you, which gives you profit then why would you go far to extract the same water which cost you more and is dangerous.
People who dug the hole: oops its a methane pit
also the m: let's set it on fire to save the environment
I'm a Türkmen and I explain why we burn it because in this area one mind happened and miners found a gas but they have no idea how much big is and they were so scared to scared and they burn it because if only one spark come out everything will be explode and they think the gas will end in one-two days but it didn't
So like I'm guessing it never rained in this area?
Sometimes the rain itself isn’t necessary cold water the air pollution around it is
It's a desert, not a tropical rainfo or a temperate grassland that it will rain over there. Use your mind dumbass🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️
@@harshsinghsrinet6523 I literally live in the desert and it rains here all the time. Good job being a jackass though I appreciate it. 👍
@@c9dp232 I don't think the temperature of the water would matter. Boiling water would still put out a fire I would imagine.
@@IsaiahW looks like the region you're living in is defying the laws of nature and definitions mentioned in geography!! BTW, could you please tell me the name of your place??🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️
Now it's been burning for 52 year
Cant we use the heat in some way ... ?

I wonder how much impact this pit had on climate change
In the grand scheme of things probably not much
@@ethan12313 ah, maybe some impact then... 50 years... and it's quite big.
I believe that McDonalds had more

Was I the only one watching this that heard in my mind the doom theme song?
lmao i thought that as well
Imagine same scenario some 1000 years ago.... and try to explain this shit to an Ancient societies........ and we now say Demons don't exit.
Things like Demons back in ancient days may Indirectly refer to rare phenomenons like this.......
That was exactly my thoughts haha
Just fix the hole with Ramen
Great background music😎
USSR scientist dude thought the whole wasnt as big as he though, set it on fire and here we are
Catastrophic mistake. But hey, what's a couple thousand degrees between friends? 🙄
Is ie possible to explode?
This proves there is a real HELL.
No. No it doesn't. Not if you're referring to the mythological underworld of eternal flame and torture aka Hades. Remember, it wasn't burning until these morons - who have crunchy self-love socks where their brains should be, started drilling, causing the floor to collapse, resulting in the neverending release of tons of gas, then having the idiotic idea of lighting it on fire to burn off the gas. It wasn't burning until those lunatic Soviets came along. IF the Hades of Biblical lore is REAL, its flames would date back to a primordial era.
How
It is now fenced off.
Literaly fire in the hole
Thats the real eternal fire
At least Ik if I was there and I lost my lighter 😂😂😂I can light my blunt off tht
Oh that? That’s just the gates of hell.
Someone should put a speaker that’s playing “4000 degrees kelvin” 24/7 right next to the fire pit
Degrees kelvin?
@@GOOOOOOLden_boy At least it's a Portal reference and not lobotomy dash
Like why don't we use this energy? It's free!

Well, that's one way to get rid of a Sarlacc.
Isn't this the one where American televangelists and Evangelicals told their followers that someone recorded (by lowering a recording device a deep as possible, but, obviously not too deep) what they said were the screams of millions of souls being tortured by the devil?
When the doom music starts playing:
After 1000 years future generation also will talk about this... like we do 🙄
So what was the alternative to setting it on fire?
To keep the poisoned gas from venting
Well they should make it usable in daily life so carbon fuel
So people cant grab millions of water?
FIRE IN THE HOLE 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🕳️🕳️🕳️🕳️ 0:01
Wow ! Very informative 👍❤️
Straight up hell right there O.O
How much longer will it burn?
I think this is the biggest waste of gas I’ve ever heard of
Build a concrete wall around it and put a lid on it and the fire will suffocate itself like a candle
What if..... seriously.
What if this was the door to hells chambers ??? I'd freak out, means the devil is real. My skin just crawled......
the devil is real and its not an individual
its liberals
Build a massive lid that’s on rails slid it over and drop it on top... starve it of oxygen it will go out 🤷♂️
Brilliant ! Just brilliant
E's r good, E's r good, E's Ebeneeza good. Got any vera's? Sorted.
Ray In Space What?
The meteor that landed there was probably made of netherrack.
I’ll stand on the edge and smoke a joint
my dumbass would trip & fall in
Incrível!!!
It’s actually got a fence around it now...too many tourists
Thats a ******** hellhole
I'm from russia and I cant belive that we just fire blowing up something all day
So if someone jumps in there then they go to hell?
No one else does either
All that sand around, why not apply it to snuff the fire out?
50 years doing nothing with this, waste of power and energy. Why why …… billions into space, but a powerplant on this site , nope :((
Plottwist: it’s the netherrack that lets it burn forever
I wonder if a "vacuum bomb" thermobaric detonated over the hole would extinguish it
The first flame
What if you just fill it with water or get some fire extinguishers
Magnetik Tomato because it will still keep on burning
It wouldn’t stop even when it rains so..
Human's are the most invasive species lol
yeah...

Oh nice but they dont want to do it they are lazy or no budget
Darvaza or darwaza literally means door
damn someone put netherrack at the bottom of that creeper hole or what?
This is not hell, it was for the giants to dispose their poop and any other rubbish they had to tip in the fire pit.

What caused this crater in the first place? Was it a meteor impact?
It is a sinkhole I think
POV: You're watching the setup of the lik nas x music video
Why don’t they cap it of and tank the gases
George Seif yes but without oxygen it can’t burn they apply a cap fast enough it will put out the flame
What kind of crane would be able to pick up a cap large enough to seal this
Carla Petcu theres prob one out there tbh
Nah, theres netherrack down there
Bruh we want a video not a National Geographic’s slides
Why dont they put it out and use the gas?
Of i live nearby over there... my cooking is unlimited...
Why would it need to be fenced off? Should we fence off the Grand Canyon?
You could push your worst enemy in there
